I'm glad it's working! The best thing to look for, in my experience, is several poop piles in a close time--like four in 5 minutes. Or laying down--rolling a bit--then up--then laying down again--rolling...you get the idea. :wink:
Also--if Tracy says her milk is very sticky--that means it's getting closer. When it changes from sticky to skim milk--it's within hours.
Tracy is using pH strips to check the milk--I'm not familiar with these. But I read one of her posts that said it's very high now and when it starts to drop--it's close. But, I never used them.
